How to organize a campaign in DnDTracker

The DM tab in Library stores campaign workspaces separately from player characters. From here you create campaigns, import JSON backups, open a workspace in DM mode, download backups, or delete local entries.

Where

• Select the Library icon in the app header.
• In Library, select the DM tab.

Steps

1. Open Library and select DM.
2. Choose New Campaign, enter the requested campaign details, and finish creation.
3. Choose Import to restore a campaign from a previously saved JSON backup.
4. To open a saved campaign, select its name (or the whole card). Confirm when asked to enter DM mode. The Active badge marks the campaign currently open.
5. Select the Download icon on a card to save that campaign’s JSON backup.
6. Select the trash icon (Delete Campaign) and confirm only when you want to remove that local library entry.

Organize your next session

1. Open the campaign and select the Campaign tab to see its private compendium.
2. Choose New page and a collection, such as characters, locations, or quests, to organize the material you will need at the table.
3. Use Notes for reminders and session notes. Campaign notes belong to that campaign.
4. Use Encounters to prepare fights before the session. You can enter the characters manually; a linked online party is optional for the encounter budget.
5. Return to Library, open DM, and download a campaign backup after preparing your material.

The campaign compendium is private. Material only appears in a shared party when you choose to share it. Online party features are accessed through the Party tab and require login. Party is free; AI tools require PRO.

Tips / Pitfalls

• Deleting a campaign from Library removes the local entry; it does not delete a shared cloud party by itself.
• Keep campaign JSON backups in a safe place before deleting or moving to another device.
• Import expects a campaign JSON backup from this app, not a character export.
